I had no idea business cards were such serious shit. What have I been doing with my life?

Damn, Bale got pwned over business cards.

[RYANL22]

He was fucking born for this role. He could "play" Batman or John Conner, but he will always be Patrick Bateman.

It's just that they're all such 80's wall street extreme yuppie d*bags and also they are like 'clones' practically; even their cards are almost all the same (they are all "vice-president"). that's why they can't remember (or throughout the movie it's just deliberately confused) each other's names & identities, etc. Personally i don't think Bateman (in the movie at least if not the book) actually killed anyone; I think he daydreamed it all, sitting in his office doing nothing all day.

Sure, Cabin Fever has pancakes.

A watermark is a mark that you see when you hold something up at an angle to a source of light. The recent $20, $10, and $5 bills have them. Paychecks and other checks also have them. They're used for authenticity purposes, which all the more shows how petty Paul Allen is for using a watermark for something as mundane as a business card.

[John Gosselin]

This movie is great. People that work in print shops find the scene hysterical because same people are just retards about their business cards not realizing 98% of them end up in a trash can somewhere.

[TBarrett12]

I think that's intentional... there's a running theme in the movie of people mistaking other people's names, like Allen calls Bateman by the name of Marcus Halberstam, he calls McDermott by Baxter, etc. I think it's part of the comment on yuppie culture -- they're so narcissistic, they can't even remember others' names.

oh my god.

it even has a watermark.
